CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR

Jasmine's POV

There was a knock on the door. The sound stopped followed by Scarlett's voice. 

"Please come outside, Jasmine. You need to eat something." 

I sighed. Curling my legs further, I buried my face in my folded knees. 

"Please..." Scarlett knocked on the door again. 

"I don't want to come out." My voice was broken and low. "Please don't force me." 

But she didn't stop. There was another knock. After that, another knock. And the sound increased. 

I got down from the bed and headed to the door. Unlocking the door, I opened it with a groan. 

"I told you I am not--" 

Jungkook looked down at me. His eyes were narrowed, forehead furrowed, as he stared at me. I released a shaky breath, then tried to close the window but Jungkook held it. 

"Don't..." he said, "I want to talk to you." 

"We don't have any talk," I huffed. "I am not in the mood." 

Jungkook sighed. He pushed the door open and stepped inside. I saw Scarlett smiling behind him. When her eyes met mine, I glared at her, and her smile faded away. 

"Thank you, Scarlett, for letting me in." Jungkook winked at the girl. She smiled and mumbled something in a low voice I failed to hear. 

"You both need to talk and clear out everything." Scarlett smiled at me and walked away. As she was out of sight, Jungkook closed the door behind him and walked up to me. 

"You didn't answer my calls." He sat on the bed. I stood in my spot, quiet and unbothered by his presence here. But my heart was tearing apart inside. There were many things I had to tell him, and I wasn't sure how to tell them. 

Jungkook stared at me. I didn't move from the spot and he understood why. "I know that you are still mad at me for the other day. You were right...We can't sneak around and hide our relationship." He was now standing behind me. He gently held my arm and turned me around to face him.  "I am sorry, Jasmine. I didn't want to hurt you. But I was not sure how to explain everything." 

"You don't owe an explanation to anyone," I told him. Jungkook nodded. His big palm cupped my cheek and stroked my cheek. And I melted in his touch. 

"But I don't want anyone to talk bad about you." Jungkook released a deep breath. "You know the society isn't open and they have some really complicated mentality. I can't stand if anyone ever says that you chose me for money since you're my secretary, or if anyone called you a gold digger. That would hurt me a lot. So... I have figured out everything." 

"What?" I furrowed my forehead. 

Jungkook pressed his lips and turned around. He sat on the bed again and opened his mouth to speak, but he halted when his eyes landed on my nightstand. He frowned, grabbing the file from there. 

"What is this?" He asked me. But his eyes were stuck on the white envelope. "It's looking like a medical paper..." he lifted his head. 

I gulped. "Jungkook..." I looked down and fiddled with my fingers. "You can open the envelope." 

Jungkook's face dropped. He put the envelope on the bed and rubbed his hands on his thigh. "Jasmine," he called me softly. "You are scaring me." His eyes never left the envelope. 

"It's not a monster. Check it." I told him. 

My eyes became moist; my heart was beating faster and sweat covered my forehead and neck. Jungkook was sweating too. 

He carefully opened the envelope and took out the papers. His eyes roamed around the papers and the lines on his forehead increased. I bit on my bottom lip too harshly it started to hurt me. But I couldn't help it. 

Jungkook sighed and pushed the papers to a side. He lowered his head between his shoulders. His silence was too loud that it almost ripped my heart out. 

I parted my lips to call him but he beat me to it. Jungkook held out his hand. "Come here," He says quietly. I gulped and held his hand, coming near to him. When his knees touched my thigh, Jungkook hastily wrapped his hands around my waist and hugged me tightly. 

My fingers found their way to his soft locks. My forehead furrowed when he started to shake in my arms. I looked down, trying to see him but he buried his face in my belly I couldn't see his face. 

"Jungkook... what's wrong?" 

He shook his head. His low whimpers clenched my heart. Jungkook slowly pulled back but kept his hands on my waist. "Is this true?" He stuttered. 

I removed his wet bangs from his forehead and nodded. "Yes," I said. "It's true. You are going to be dad, Jungkook." 

His lips twitched up. Jungkook pulled me into his lap and ginned. "Really?" 

"Really." I cupped his face. "Shit! I thought to surprise you but never imagines you'd find it this way." I face-palmed myself. Jungkook laughed and brought my face closer to him. He pressed his lips on my lips, kissing me slowly. 

Jungkook never kissed me like this before. It was soft and slow, full of love, 

The type of kiss I was craving for. 

Jungkook pulled back slightly, breathing heavily while his eyes were closed. He lingered his lips over mine for a while. 

"Thank you," he said against my cherry lips. "Thank you for giving me the best gift. I love you." 

"I am sorry it was unexpected. I realized that we didn't use protection when you fucked me like a maniac in your friend's house." 

"That was the best mistake that happened." Jungkook winked. 

"What about Aera?" I asked him. 

Jungkook sighed and gently pulled me down on the bed. He turned to face me. Taking my hands. he looked deep into my eyes. "Jasmine, I came here to tell you something..." He paused, taking a deep breath. "I told Aera everything." 

"And?" 

"We are getting divorced." He smiled. His smile was so peaceful. "She admitted that she cheated on me. I knew about it. What I didn't know was that she fell out of love after our marriage and since then she had a relationship with Yoongi. She stayed with me for my money." 

I gasped. He didn't deserve it. Not at all.  This man was so selfless. He never asked anything for himself, but always gave it to others. I never met anyone so beautiful as him. 

I hastily pulled him in a hug. Jungkook hid his face in the crook of my neck. I patted his back. 

"You never deserve it, Jungkook." 

"I know." He gripped my waist and pulled me closer. "But I bore it all until I understood what I deserve for real. Until you came into my life." 

Jungkook pulled back. "I have signed the divorce papers. In six months, I will be officially free from Aera... I will be yours." 

"So everything is set between us?" 

"Everything is set between us." 

Jungkook gently laid me on the bed and hovered above me. "I love you, Jasmine." 

"I love you too." 

Jungkook smirked. "Well...I heard that pregnancy sex is amazing. Wanna try?" 

"Sure." I pulled him by his nape and Jungkook kissed me. His hand slid under my shirt and he started to make textures on my belly. 

"I hope the little one won't mind his horny parents," Jungkook mumbled against my lips. I giggled and pulled his shirt off his body. Jungkook groaned and started to strip me. 

And... we made love again.
